Taste

Hey all first time poster... Just a question on taste. What are some of methods used to try and get rid of the taste of pot in edibles? Thanks

You can put Rick Simpson Oil or a tincture in with your edibles instead of the cannabutter. You only use a little bit in your foods unlike the butter and oil. Do some research here in the cooking section.

There are certain flavors that mask the taste better than others. I've found that making snickerdoodles was a good choice because of the cinnamon.

Chocolate is usually a favorite too.

Some have also tried doing a water cure on their herb (usually abv), prior to making the oil/butter/tincture.

Like @momofthegoons said, certain flavors seem to mask the grassy taste of ABV (Already Been Vaped) better than others.
For a quicky intake of ABV, I crush it into powder and mix with peanut butter and honey, microwave to a creamy consistency, and down the hatch

I really love the taste of cannabis with food. I think certain foods really complement the flavours of cannabis perfectly. Similar to how people cook things with alcohol. I have no idea why someone would want to cover the beautiful taste of weed rather than complement it, unless they were trying to get someone high without telling them (i'm not accusing anyone, just can't think of another reason) or that the ABV tasted really bad.

The taste of hash in chocolate goes so well I sometimes wonder if there is a God, and he wanted us only to consume hash this way.

I put my canna-coconut oil that I made with ABV in all sorts of things, and I love the flavour. Creamy banana porridge, Chai tea, Hot chocolate.

My ABV canna-coconut oil is pretty strong, so when I use a very small amount it still gets me high, but I can barely taste the cannabis if at all. This is more the case with a bowl of porridge whereas if the same amount was used in tea i would be able to taste it.

Thanks for your response guys... I don't mind the taste but was looking for ways to leasin it.

Boil your cannabis with the butter and water. Put it in the refrigerator for 24 hours and pull out the butter, wash it off and blot with a paper towel, being careful not to let it slip. Wash your pot again and put the butter in some fresh water and boil it again, then pull your butter out after it is in the refrigerator for a day or so. Your butter should be a golden yellow color (unless you use ABV, I have not infused any butter with that personally). I do not like the taste myself at all. If it is yellow right off the bat you should be good to go.

You could also do a quick wash with ethanol and infuse butter with that, too.

You can even make nearly tasteless stuff from fans as well with some patience. The stinky smelly stuff will go into the water, and the good stuff goes in the butter. Use coconut butter or real butter. If you are just tossing in some trim into a recipe it will taste like decarbed cannabis and may even upset your stomach. It does mine.

I have also went through the steps, and added more fans to up the concentration of cannabinoids per gram of butter, then do washes until the taste is better. Not even the source could pick out which was fans and which was sugary trim.

Skunkpharm has a time vs temperature graph if you don't turn it into extract first but if you do turn it into extract first you can follow the same timeline with a hotplate or oil bath of some kind. Just watch the bubbles in the extract if you go that route.

Oh, as far as concentration, butter should be able to hold around 15 mg/gram of butter. I figure for trim it is 6-10%, fan 3-5%. I would never use buds to make butter, unless I was rolling in them. I would do a QWET extraction and let it naturally decarb in a case like that.

@Mrlen
It is like acquiring an appreciation of scotch. The taste remains the same but you become better at tasting connotations and permutations.
@HomeFree gave you guidelines for extraction.

Qwiso or bubble your herb first and you're free of that green taste.
Pair that deliciously fragrant concentrate with the flavors of chocolate, nuts, lemon, dried fruits, orange peel etc and you'll have a great edible.
I use 1 gram of bubble in 20 grams of coconut oil, and usually make bite sized pieces of whatever edible that contain 0.05 to 0.1 gram of bubble and most of the time i don't even taste the bubble anymore, which is a shame actually

If you don't want the taste then why use edibles at all? You could just use capsules.

Made some avb coconut oil rice Krispy treats today with fruity pebbles and added like 2 or three teaspoons of lemon extract and got to say did wonders for the taste and the lemon really goes with the fruity pebbles very well

A chef friend of mine recommends treacle. He used to make these awesome treacle biscuits .. he called them peace biscuits!!

Ginger is good too.

This ^^^ is how I have been using ABV, only I add in some chocolate too and sunflower lecithin. my abv is dark brown too and needs a bit of it to work but still works!

edit- I only do 22 sec shots in the nuker at a time,no more. it is either 11 or 22 sec intervals...
